Qianbei Ye stared at Gu Ruoyun nervously as he replied honestly, “The first word was ‘scram’ and the second word was also ‘scram’. If you don’t like it, I’ll never say another word to her again. Don’t be angry, okay?”

This man, who had previously looked as cruel as a god of death, was now standing cautiously in front of Gu Ruoyun and explaining himself in a meek and subservient manner, afraid that she would be angry at him.

“Hehe.”

Gu Ruoyun giggled. Her smile was as magnificent as the sun and allowed Qianbei Ye to relax.

“Xiao Ye, how can I not believe you? We’ve known each other for so many years and you’ve disregarded all danger to save my life many times. Now, you’ve plunged into risk for my big brother’s sake! Even if someone were to stand in front of me and tell me that you’ve betrayed me, I would certainly choose to believe you.”

Her gaze then turned serious as she continued, “I believe that you will never abandon me. I also believe that no matter what I do, you will stand with me and help me unconditionally.”

“Yun’er.”

Qianbei Ye lifted his hand and pulled the woman into his arms. He then lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. There was an endless tenderness in his blood-red eyes.

“Even if I disappoint every person in the world, I won’t ever disappoint you!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This was his promise to her for the rest of his life!

In this entire lifetime, having her with him was enough.

Both of them slowly got into the moment as they kissed. Qianbei Ye then slowly released her and spoke thickly, “Yun’er, can we...”

He did not finish the entire sentence but the meaning in his words was very obvious.

As Gu Ruoyun gazed into the tenderness in the man’s eyes, she gently nodded. “I had promised you that I will give myself to you when we meet again. Xiao Ye, you’ve done so much for me and you’re the man who is worth receiving the trust of my entire life to.”

“Yun’er.”

Upon receiving the woman’s permission, Qianbei Ye pulled her close into his arms once again. He then gently swept the woman off her feet beneath the gentle breeze and walked towards the large bed.

The scarlet bed curtain fluttered gently on the bed, festive and brightly-colored. The curtains sheltered the man and woman on the bed until only two pairs of legs which could make one’s imagination run wild could be seen... 1

...

The next day.

At first light, Gu Ruoyun was aching incessantly from head to toe once she had woken up. She rubbed her neck 2 and turned around to find a pair of red eyes filled with tenderness.

“Are you up 3 ?”

Qianbei Ye smiled gently and lifted his arm to pull the woman into his embrace, “Yun’er, once we leave the Dark Earth Realm, let’s get married, 4 alright?”

“Alright.”

Gu Ruoyun thought for a moment before 5 nodding in agreement.

Now that they have found her parents and her family has been reunited, it was time for her to marry Xiao Ye. After all, she has already promised him.

“Yun’er, I’ve mentioned this before. If I want to marry you, I will give you the heavens and earth as a betrothal gift! The Underworld is also my betrothal gift to you! Let’s return to the Underworld first, I have some business to complete.”

Gu Ruoyun gently nodded, “I’ll go with you.”

Since Qianbei Ye has announced that he would gift the Underworld to her, she would not refuse it. She has never needed any ceremony when it comes to him!

“Oh, right.” Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun seemed to have remembered something and frowned. “Where has that evildoer, Zuo Shangchen, gone to? It’s like he had disappeared without any rhyme or reason! The Regional King is strange too, I can’t shake this feeling that he’s not as simple as he seems. It’s like he’s holding some sort of secret...”
